Reference: Compliance Filing

On August 13, 2020, in compliance with the requirements of the Commission’s July 17, 2020, order in this proceeding,[1] New York Independent System Operator, Inc. (NYISO) filed revisions to its Market Administration and Control Area Services Tariff to delete language included in its April 7, 2020 compliance filing which proposed that, in the event of a disagreement between NYISO and the Independent Market Monitoring Unit regarding whether a Generator Retirement qualified as an Incremental Regulatory Retirement, NYISO would submit the question to the Commission to resolve.[2] The compliance filing satisfactorily complies with the requirements of the Commission’s July 17, 2020 order.

Pursuant to the authority delegated to the Director, Division of Electric Power Regulation – East, under 18 C.F.R. § 375.307 (2019), your submittal is accepted for filing, effective June 9, 2020, as requested.

The filing was noticed on August 14, 2020, with comments, interventions, and protests due on or before September 3, 2020. Pursuant to Rule 214 (18 C.F.R. § 385.214 (2019)), to the extent that any timely filed motions to intervene and any motion to intervene out-of-time were filed before the issuance date of this order, such interventions are granted. Granting late interventions at this stage of the proceeding will not disrupt the proceeding or place additional burdens on existing parties.

This acceptance for filing shall not be construed as constituting approval of the referenced filing or of any rate, charge, classification, or any rule, regulation, or practice affecting such rate or service contained in your filing; nor shall such acceptance be deemed as recognition of any claimed contractual right or obligation associated therewith; and such acceptance is without prejudice to any findings or orders that have been or may hereafter be made by the Commission in any proceeding now pending or hereafter instituted by or against NYISO.

This order constitutes final agency action. Requests for rehearing by the Commission may be filed within 30 days of the date of issuance of this order, pursuant to 18 C.F.R. § 385.713 (2019)
